»[The book] exhaustively covers multiple topics with high contemporary relevance in a very accessible way.«
Anastasiya Astapova, H-Net-Reviews, 4 (2014)
»The various experiences as hosts and guests plus nine different writing styles make the book a varied reading. Following the authors experiences, the results of their studies are sometimes presented as interested facts nearby; hence it is not like reading an academic paper but fun and informative. Moreover it makes the book accessible for a broader audience and allows an ongoing exchange between academic and current discussions.«
Paula Salomo, www. urbanophil. net, 08.08.2013
»Die Beiträge zeigen die Fußangeln vernetzt-kosmopolitischer (Selbst-)Entwürfe auf, doch begegnen die Autoren stets respektvoll jener Idee des materiell uneigennützigen Teilens mit dem Reisenden.«
Andrea Schilz, Bayerisches Jahrbuch für Volkskunde, (2015)
»Being skillfully written, making use of a narrative approach, and enriched by exciting and originial chapters ›Couchsurfing Cosmopolitanism‹ is a recommanded read for those who are eager to delve deeper and better understand the phenomenon of promoting cosmopolitanism as a desire for and openess to difference.«
